Interim Trading Update | First Quarter 2023
Envipco is a recycling technology company. We have over four decades of experience delivering thousands of reverse vending machines (RVMs) and systems to leading customers operating deposit return schemes (DRS) across the world. We bring a broad technology portfolio, an agile and partnership approach, and deep experience operating and involvement in DRS. Known and recognized for our service delivery, we offer compelling competitive products and solutions in our chosen markets.


Due to the delayed publication of the 2022 Annual Report, the company has chosen to provide a Q1 2023 Trading Update. Upon issuance of the 2022 annual report, the company will follow with the normal interim Q1 financial report. The Trading Update covers an operational update for Q1 including Q1'23 revenues, gross profit and EBITDA performance along with providing the outlook for 2023. The delay in publication of the annual report is caused by finalization of the first-time audit of the Romanian subsidiary along with resolution of certain intercompany reconciliation matters. The company does not see any negative material impact on the 2022 Full-Year results as previously communicated.
"The first quarter of 2023 has been a slower start than expected due to the announced delay in Scotland. We continue to be active and win contracts in new markets and we are happy to announce the contract win in Australia in the Quarter. Our preparations in Scotland have been realigned based on the updated schedule from the Scottish Government and we are working with all customers as they update their roll-out plans to commence in Q3 of this year. Our work with MOL group in Hungary continues in coordination with our well-developed local team for H2'23 machine deliveries. In addition, we have a meaningful backlog of Recycling Centres to be delivered in Greece as part of that expanding project. We continue to be excited about what will be a record year for the business." – Simon Bolton, CEO
